I agree that the kids should be new, unknown actors and we could have more famous actors for the gods, but I also think they should be diverse. Some people say that the us is a very big mix of races and ethnicities and I think if the gods are there now, their “mortal” forms are diverse too. Picture it, poseidon is pacific islander, demeter is native american, aphrodite is asian, etc etc. You choose! the things is make the show count, there’s a whole new generation watching and diversity is important.

IF I DONT SEE A LESBIAN CHILD OF APHRODITE I WILL RIOT !!!! as a poc lgbtq teen i don’t get much representation, BUT hopefully thats all gonna change with this series :))

here’s a thing that i don’t think american kids are told often enough:

STAY AWAY FROM FOR-PROFIT COLLEGES.

ITT tech, virginia colleges, bryant and stratton, the art institutes, university of phoenix, everest, devry, etc - do NOT attend these places. do not give them your money - and it will be a lot of money. They are all, to a one, scams.

For-profit colleges prey on minority, low-income, military, nontraditional, and chronically underemployed students by promising them a quick path to a career. They are lying. They often do not allow the transfer of credits to and from, and many are either unaccredited or accredited by suspect accreditors. They rely on their students to take out massive federal student loan debt. They line their pockets with money from the government and then burden their graduates with tens of thousands of dollars of debt for inadequate education and degrees that aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

If you’re a non-traditional student looking for a degree, don’t go to a for-profit. Find a community college in your area instead. most ccs have more flexible class times for especially vocational/technical certifications and quite a few offer online-only or hybrid degrees. Hell, if you’re a non-trad student and you have a GED and some spare cash, try studying for a few months and then taking the SATs/ACT and trying for a four-year straight out (that’s what I did). Or get an AA and then do a four-year. Or look for a technical/adult education program sponsored by a local community college or school district. Just please, please, please, don’t go to a for-profit college. They will ruin your credit rating, your finances, and your job prospects.

this post was probably inspired by it but itt tech is almost certainly going into bankruptcy and closing probably asap which heralds the death knell of other for-profit colleges  since the us government is finally cutting off their financial assistance for students

basically if you see a commercial for a college on TV, don’t go to it, their degrees are basically worthless and a lot of employers actually think less of someone who has a degree from this type of school than they do someone who doesn’t even have one

It’s cheaper to actually go to a community college and then an accredited state college to get a degree, and right now everyone is offering online coursework like the for-profit model.

I worked for a student loan servicer for years. I once talked to a woman who was 20,000 in debt. She was getting an online-only degree to be a *massage therapist* from a for profit school. No one would hire her, because she had never given a massage.

Another woman I spoke to was trying to get a two year administrative assistant degree. She been going to school for five years, she was 60,000 in debt, she did not have a degree.

For profit schools are cruel scams.

person: define “soft”

me, crying: w watch, thi,s

Does someone have a translation of all this glorious sweetness?

Elmo says “duck!” and then “I did it!” and Diego Luna congratulates him sincerely and joyfully, embracing him and saying “well done! Especially after you tried so many times!” and by that point I could no longer see through my tears of tender joy but I think that was the end

if u listen closely i think u can hear my faint cries of happiness
